Here’s what Kushner, CIM and LIVWRK plan to charge tenants at former Watchtower site

After undertaking an $80 million renovation, the developers of the former Jehovah’s Witnesses headquarters are expected to ask office tenants to pay up to $85 a square foot.

A joint venture of CIM Group, LIVWRK Holdings and Kushner Companies, is renovating the five-building complex in Brooklyn Heights, which they purchased in 2016 for $340 million. The developers removed the iconic Watchtower sign last year and are renaming the office-and-retail complex Panorama.

LIVWRK founder and CEO Asher Abehsera told the New York Post that asking office rents will be $75 to $85 per square foot at the complex. However, a city-run program could allow tenants from outer boroughs to take another $15 to $20 off that price.

The office space is expected to span about 660,000 square feet, and one of the five buildings could become a boutique hotel, the Post reported. Floor plates at 25 and 30 Columbia Heights run between 20,000 and 38,000 square feet, Abehsera said.

As part of the renovation, the buildings will be painted light gray and outdoor terraces will be built-out for many of the offices. The largest of the buildings — 25 and 30 Columbia Heights — are connected by a sky bridge. [NYP] — Kathryn Brenzel
